Demons came knocking on my door,
So I paused to let them in.
Now as I wait for distant shores,
I contemplate my sins.

I have caused hatred in others,
For the morals for which I stand.
I have committed the sin of Wrath,
but also been at it’s own hand.

All I’ve wanted is happiness,
Something better than the life I lead.

Waiting in the dark.
Laziness holds no pride,
But the tears leave their mark.

I hide my factures behind Pride,
Enough achievements they won’t look.

What started those danger cracks.
I lusted after abusive love,
Now I’m never going back.

I Envy you, the happy ones,
As you go about your day.
You have no fears or worries,
As you laugh and play.

The one that tears at my soul.
I feel fat and useless,
Searching for something to make me whole.

I have committed so many sins,
It’s hard to know where to start.
These sins are my undoing,
The reason breaking my heart.
